i feel like “conventionally attractive” guys are actually chosen because they’re attractive to other men. guys tend to prefer men who are more muscular and taller bc they see them as competition, while girls tend to find men attractive when they seem to have more personality (sweet, funny, charming) and based on their ability to be a good father and husband. interestingly, women also find more angular/taller women attractive bc we see them as a threat, but men find rounder, shorter women more-
attractive. this is why women tend to find bella hadid more attractive than sydney sweeney, but men find sydney sweeney more attractive than bella hadid. this is also why men find guys like henry cavill and chris evans more attractive than like timothee chalamet or guys with dad bods, but women find those guys more personable and appealing. tldr: ideas of male attractiveness are SET UP BY MEN
very very true. when i turn a “conventionally attractive” guy down (aka muscular, angular face, etc.) they act like i’m an alien speaking another language 😭😭 and they always resort to insulting the kind of people i like and insulting me as well. like hi, not everyone wants an athlete bro go bone your hbs in the locker room lol
